  • Federated Identity and Trust Management
    Redpaper Axel Buecker Paul Ashley Neil Readshaw Federated Identity and Trust Management Introduction The cost of managing the life cycle of user identities is very high. Most organizations have to manage employee, business partner, and customer identities. The relationship between the business and these individuals can change frequently, and each change requires an administrative action. For the individuals also the situation is unsatisfactory, because they need to create separate accounts at all the businesses that they access. A federation is defined as a group of two or more business partners who work together. This federation can be formed to provide a better experience for their mutual customers, to reduce identity management costs, or both. For example, a financial institution might want to provide seamless access for their high-value clients to financial market information provided by a third-party research firm. Government departments might want to collaborate to provide a single citizen login for their government services. A small online store might not want to manage large numbers of customer records and instead prefer to partner with a financial institution to provide that service. In all of these cases, the businesses need to work together to create a business federation. Business federations are built on trust relationships. These trust relationships are created using out-of-band business and legal agreements between the federation participants. These agreements must be in place before a federation can begin to operate.1 After the business and legal agreements are in place, these partners can begin to operate together using technology that supports the federation arrangements.

    Securing Digital Identities in the Cloud by Selecting an Apposite Federated Identity Management from SAML, OAuth and OpenID Connect Nitin Naik and Paul Jenkins Defence School of Communications and Information Systems Ministry of Defence, United Kingdom Email: [email protected] and [email protected] Abstract—Access to computer systems and the information this sensitive data over insecure channels poses a significant held on them, be it commercially or personally sensitive, is security and privacy risk. This risk can be mitigated by using naturally, strictly controlled by both legal and technical security the Federated Identity Management (FIdM) standard adopted measures. One such method is digital identity, which is used to authenticate and authorize users to provide access to IT in the cloud environment. Federated identity links and employs infrastructure to perform official, financial or sensitive operations users’ digital identities across several identity management within organisations. However, transmitting and sharing this systems [1], [2]. FIdM defines a unified set of policies and sensitive information with other organisations over insecure procedures allowing identity management information to be channels always poses a significant security and privacy risk. An transportable from one security domain to another [3], [4]. example of an effective solution to this problem is the Federated Identity Management (FIdM) standard adopted in the cloud Thus, a user accessing data/resources on one secure system environment. The FIdM standard is used to authenticate and could then access data/resources from another secure system authorize users across multiple organisations to obtain access without both systems needing individual identities for the to their networks and resources without transmitting sensitive single user.

  • Identity Platform Allows Users to Authenticate to Your Applications and Services, Like Multi- Tenant Saas Applications, Mobile/Web Apps, Games, Apis and More
    1/25/2020 Authentication Identity Platform allows users to authenticate to your applications and services, like multi- tenant SaaS applications, mobile/web apps, games, APIs and more. Identity Platform provides secure, easy-to-use authentication if you're building a service on Google Cloud, on your own backend or on another platform. Identity Platform provides backend services and works with the easy-to-use SDKs and ready- made UI libraries to authenticate users to your app. It supports authentication using passwords, phone numbers, popular federated identity providers like Google, Facebook, Twitter, and any provider that supports SAML or OpenID Connect protocol. Identity Platform integrates tightly with Google Cloud services, and it leverages industry standards like OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect, so it can be easily integrated with your custom backend. You can use the SDK to integrate one or more sign-in methods into your app. Authentication using the SDK Email and password based Authenticate users with their email addresses and passwords. The SDK pro authentication methods to create and manage users that use their email addresses and pa to sign in.

  • Detecting Abuse of Authentication Mechanisms
    National Security Agency | Cybersecurity Advisory Detecting Abuse of Authentication Mechanisms Summary Malicious cyber actors are abusing trust in federated authentication environments to access protected data. The exploitation occurs after the actors have gained initial access to a victim’s on-premises network. The actors leverage privileged access in the on-premises environment to subvert the mechanisms that the organization uses to grant access to cloud and on-premises resources and/or to compromise administrator credentials with the ability to manage cloud resources. The actors demonstrate two sets of tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) for gaining access to the victim network’s cloud resources, often with a particular focus on organizational email. In the first TTP, the actors compromise on-premises components of a federated SSO infrastructure and steal the credential or private key that is used to sign Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) tokens (TA00061, T1552, T1552.004). Using the private keys, the actors then forge trusted authentication tokens to access cloud resources. A recent NSA Cybersecurity Advisory warned of actors exploiting a vulnerability in VMware Access®2 and VMware Identity Manager®3 that allowed them to perform this TTP and abuse federated SSO infrastructure [1]. While that example of this TTP may have previously been attributed to nation-state actors, a wealth of actors could be leveraging this TTP for their objectives. This SAML forgery technique has been known and used by cyber actors since at least 2017 [2]. In a variation of the first TTP, if the malicious cyber actors are unable to obtain an on-premises signing key, they would attempt to gain sufficient administrative privileges within the cloud tenant to add a malicious certificate trust relationship for forging SAML tokens.

  • Potential Impacts in Citizens' Privacy of Using Federated Identity
    Potential Impacts in Citizens’ Privacy of using Federated Identity Management to Offer e-Government Services Jorge Navas and Marta Beltran´ Department of Computing, ETSII, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Madrid, Spain Keywords: e-Government, Federated Identity Management (FIM), Mobile Connect, OpenID Connect, Privacy, SAML, Threat Modelling. Abstract: The ability to verify citizens’ identity and to authenticate and to authorize them when accessing to e- Government services (such as on-line voting, licence renewal or tax payment) is crucial for the digital transfor- mation of public administrations. Governments need identity management mechanisms valid across different services, platforms, devices, technologies and even physical borders. Federated Identity Management (FIM) can help in ensuring secure identity management, in improving citizens’ experience and in increasing services’ accessibility. But this comes with a price since relying on Identity Providers, whether public or private, poses new privacy threats that has to be faced. This paper presents a threat model of the most promising and extended FIM specifications, OpenID Connect and Mobile Connect, when used as federated identity management solu- tions for e-Government services. A set of three improvements is proposed to avoid these threats or to mitigate their impacts, taking into account both, specification and implementation aspects. Furthermore, guidelines and recommendations in order to improve future versions of the specifications and/or their implementations are provided for developers, providers and policy makers. 1 INTRODUCTION (OASIS, 2005), OAuth (IETF, 2012), OpenID Con- nect (OIDF, 2014) and/or Mobile Connect (GSMA, e-Government is the use of information and com- 2015) are being adopted.

  • A Primer and Action Guide to Decentralized Identity
    A Primer and Action Guide to Decentralized Identity ©SecureKey Technologies Inc. All rights reserved. Introduction In an increasingly digital world affected by ever-mounting fraud and privacy concerns, digital identity and the security and assurance of identity data is becoming a crucial consideration for public and private sector organizations. However, digital identity as it currently exists with its centralized username and password focus, is insufficient for solving the identity problems we face. When stark use cases like data portability and user control are presented, it’s clear that our existing solutions don’t represent true identity – standalone biometric selfies matched with photo IDs do not make a strong digital identity – and that decentralized digital identity enables much more flexibility. Along the spectrum, there are solutions that repurpose physical identity modalities for digital credentials. These “point solutions” (i.e. Jumio, Yoti and Plaid) act as placeholders but do not fulfill important principles of identity. Most recently the self-sovereign identity (SSI) community has entered the fold with a renewed interest in creating user-centric identity solutions that adhere to technological principles. Verified.Me by SecureKey Technologies Inc., aims to bridge the gap between these two approaches by providing a robust, principled identity network that relies on technical standards, governance frameworks and active user behaviour as the three pillars of a trusted ecosystem. An Overview of Digital Identity Management What are the ways by which digital identities are created and managed? This paper will delve into the market positioning and perception of centralized and decentralized identity schemes, focusing on SSI, federated identity, SecureKey Technologies’ Verified.Me hybrid decentralized identity verification network and their respective strengths and weaknesses.
